New Caledonia goes to the poll on Sunday in crucial elections. The possibility of independence from France remains the central political issue, with today’s vote taking place peacefully. The election comes two years after plans to expand voting rights to thousands of non-Indigenous residents triggered deadly unrest and forced the postponement of elections in 2024.
